Victory head coach Patrick Kisnorbo said he was pleased to land the winger after the expiration of his contract with the Jets where he played 33 games, scoring twice.
“We’re incredibly pleased to have a player like Reno at Melbourne Victory,” he said.
“We believe Reno will thrive at Melbourne Victory, and we’re looking forward to what he will produce at AAMI Park this season.”
“It’s exciting to be back home in Melbourne and joining a club like Melbourne Victory,” Piscopo said.
“I’m looking forward to being a part of the squad and doing everything I can to help the team win silverware this season.
“I know what the club means to its fans and how important it is in our state and I’m looking forward to delivering for them this season.”
